Turn corned beef brisket from last night's dinner into a hearty, homemade hash. This flavor-packed meal-in-one is ideal for breakfast or dinner.
My family loves corned beef and this homemade hash is my favorite way to use up the leftovers.
When I make crock pot corned beef, I like to cook two briskets at the same time - one for slicing and serving with roasted potatoes and carrots, and the other for making this hash.
Two delicious meals in one!
Why you will love this

Ingredient notes
- Corned beef brisket - I use leftovers from my crock pot corned beef recipe. The brisket is seasoned with a flavorful spice rub and is then cooked low and slow until it reaches fork-tender perfection. I prefer using a flat-cut brisket for this recipe.
- Potatoes - I love using baby potatoes for their creamy texture. Both red and white varieties are delicious. Larger potatoes are fine too - just cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- Vegetables - Green pepper and yellow onion are my go-to's. Red pepper and red onion are great options too.
Step-by-step instructions
See the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Toss with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a preheated cast iron skillet. (Image 1)
- Roast for 20 minutes until fork-tender, stirring after 10 minutes. (Image 2)
- Cool slightly and transfer to a plate.
TIP: Leftover potatoes - like these roasted potatoes or these breakfast potatoes - work great in this recipe. If using leftovers, skip steps 1-3 and start with the peppers and onions.
- Heat oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onions, season with black pepper, and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize. (Image 3)
- Add the corned beef and cook for another 8-10 minutes. (Image 4)
- Stir in the potatoes and cook until warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste. (Image 5)
TIP: Use a cast-iron skillet to promote browning and those delicious crispy edges.
Serving suggestions
